No, Biden is not a “good man"

I was going to post something about this myself, but Glenn Greenwald beats me to it. 

Reason for saying it is: that everyone that’s out to stop Joe Biden from running, is saying something like “I love Joe Biden, but it’s time for him to step down”, or “Joe Biden is a good and decent man, who has been a great president, but he must call a halt to his candidacy”. Or similar. 

And I’ve been thinking: “What’s great or good about Joe Biden?” Because I can remember when he lied about his law degree, when he lied about his son’s death, and lied about the driver of the truck that crashed and killed his wife way back. And that he lied about Trump and the “fine people” hoax. And that he pulled out of Afghanistan, precipitously, leaving dead Americans and American supporters behind, and then lied about that, that he misled the Russians on Ukraine by encouraging them to invade the east, that he slow-walked the support for Israel, so that they couldn’t finish the job of killing Hamas, that he pumped money into the economy during Covid, setting the scene for inflation. 

That he’s had racist leangings going way back to his friendship with the Grand Wizard of the KKK. That he betrayed Clarence Thomas at his Senate confirmation hearings, when he, Biden, was chair of the committee. A story told in detail by Thomas in his memoirs. 

And on and on and on. Not to mention his deliberate ignoring of his 7th grand-child because she was incovenient. 

But there’s more and the more is covered by Greenwald in the video above. 

Biden is, in short, a vile man. Not just not “a good man”, but an actual full-on vile man. 

When Biden goes -- and it’s now more “when” than “if” -- it’ll be unlamented by most. And certainly unlamented by me. 

He’ll only be lamented, with crocodile tears, one imagines, by those in the Dem party who feel obliged to be nice to him. He, himself, has never been nice, except to people in his own family. 

He will have lived up to the judgements of Barack Obama and Robert Gates (Defence sec under Clinton and Bush):

Obama said “Never underestimate Joe’s capacity to fuck things up.”

Gates said: “Joe Biden has been wrong about every foreign policy issue in the last 40 years”.
